That special something… | NJ Children’s Photographer | Bergen County New Jersey

I had the pleasure of meeting these two adorable children not long ago…when it was a little too cold to venture outside. They were beautiful, and I love the expressions they gave me… For me it’s not always about the smiles… I mean, smiles are great and I do my best to capture some at every session, as you will see below. But there is also something special about catching a more thoughtful expression that shows another side of your child’s personality. I find these shots beautiful! I guess for me it’s about capturing genuine expressions…nothing forced…no “say cheese” for example. This older sister was a little shy at first. She started to come out of her shell little by little and then once I started to photograph her brother, she got a renewed interest…funny how that happens with kids, right?
Anyway, this first one is one of my favorites…
An adorable smile…
…but I just love her expression in this one!
…and this!
This little guy is so adorable and also gave us a variety of expressions…
Love it!
What a beautiful pair!

I met both these kids as newborns and it blows me away to see how quickly they’ve grown! This little girl doesn’t like to be away from mommy’s arms for too long, but we did manage to get some winning smiles while she sat all by herself! She looked just beautiful in the Crewcut dress mom put her in for the shoot, and had lovely accessories to match. I am loving her wind-blown hair, her little hands and that gentle smile in this first shot. This is my third time photographing her older brother – he gets more gorgeous every time I see him. Just check out his big brown eyes. Love the ‘do, too!

Very often I prefer black and white processing to color. Sometimes removing color also removes distractions and gives more focus to the subject. It is raw and pure and adds a timelessness to the image. I decided that for this blog post, I would indulge in an all black and whites. Two families with four cousins, came together on a sunny Saturday for one of my spring mini-sessions. The children were beautiful and well-behaved and all the adults were happy that spring had finally seemed to arrive. A very pleasant morning indeed. Now don’t worry guys, there are plenty of nice ones in color too…

I’ve been loving all the newborn shoots I’ve had lately. I love how differently each one turns out. Each baby is one of a kind; each family has a different story; and every home that I enter has a style and feel of it’s own. I like to incorporate as much of this as I can into each session to make it a custom experience…that keeps it fresh and exciting for me and also unique for my clients. This baby’s parents had such a cool bedroom…I just had to use their purple walls as a backdrop. Throw in some beautiful window light, a gorgeous dresser and a zebra rug and voila – styling complete! It doesn’t hurt that this baby brother is just a sweet as can be. Enjoy the view…

I love watching children grow up. I first met this adorable boy as a newborn and he is already celebrating his 1st birthday! Wow – did that year fly by! I recently posted the “cake smash” portion of this session, but there were so many other great shots outside and in his room that I thought I’d share them too. He is clearly a natural in front of the camera, but also has one of the most pleasant dispositions ever! What a happy and delightful boy.

OK…this is just the kind of angelic face that makes me, the mother of two wonderful boys, want a little girl. It happened a year ago at her newborn session and it happened again a year later during her one year session. Doesn’t help that she is sweet as pie with me…I could just take her home! OH and the accessories…bows, flowers, pearl bracelet, pink slippers…I was dyin!
Her nursery is fabulously decorated, from the crib to the dresser to the curtains. I have to say, I just love how the framed portrait from our previous session fits right in…
And here is her big brother, who I photographed last summer. In this first photo, I caught him entranced by the tv and I just love the feel of it. Soon afterwards he was engaged and smiling. I think it’s the sparkle in his eyes that makes him such a beautiful model …just like his sister!
Don’t worry guys, the snow’ll be gone soon and we’ll all be outside playing!

I’ve been remiss in my blogging, but I thought I’d start things back up with a bang…and a smash…a cake smash, that is.
This was my first one and I have to admit, the thought of a baby smashing and throwing pieces of cake kinda made me nervous. I know that my OCD is totally showing right now, but hey…part of this blog is getting to know me, right??? This boy was SOOOO adorable and cute about figuring out just what to do with his over-sized birthday cupcake that we were giggling and laughing up a storm the whole time. Do I drum with it? Do I squish it? Do I eat….hey, this tastes pretty good!!! There were so many great shots, that limiting it to four was tough, but I really loved the idea of a storyboard. Also, we video taped it and put together a session slideshow that features a combination of video footage and photos. I have to say I LOVE how it turned out and I think it’s a great way to capture a session! I’m thinking about regularly offering this as one of my products. I’ll keep you posted…
Happy birthday to you little man…you are adorable beyond words!

Nine weeks old and very bright eyed, this boy was a beautiful model. Now, I definitely do not recommend this age for “newborn” shoots because they just do not stay asleep, BUT for this very special person I just had to comply. We gave it our best college try…getting him all cuddly and warm and ready for a nap…and ready for a nap….okay, not so much. But I have to say I am so happy with how we captured him! He was awake for most of the time, but catching these wonderful expressions of his soulful, blue eyes told me it worked out just fine that way. Mom did want some “sleepy” shots, so once he did fall asleep, it was snap, snap, snap then he promptly woke up. I think we managed to get some beauties of him both awake and in a perfectly peaceful slumber…
